C: clean-up

[Bipsy]

Something is eating up space on my C: drive even as I'm watching it!
How do I find out what's doing this?

My hard drive is dangerously close to being completely full.
I want to clean off stuff I don't use.
Trying to figure out what's what is a challenge.

Any help would be appreciated.

RE: C: clean-up

Anything you are running that has logs enabled? Did you turn auditing on to
"high"?

Hopefully you aren't storing data (home directories, database, etc.) there...

Temporary solutions (of course use at your own risk) include moving the swap
file elsewhere, delete files from temp folders, and in case nothing else
works, remove the uninstallation files and folders for service packs and
hotfixes.
